“The Western U.S. is getting hotter and drier. And people are suffering, right now, from increasingly severe wildfires, more intense droughts, extreme weather, and a lack of economic opportunities – especially those that strengthen, rather than compromise our beloved natural heritage. Our way of life hangs in the balance, and climate change amplifies each of these threats,” said Schlenker-Goodrich. “Today’s bold, ‘whole of government’ approach not only tackles the climate crisis head on, but recognizes this challenge can be addressed by investing in the West’s greatest asset—its people. In so doing, today’s executive orders create tangible and actionable hope for present and future generations of Westerners.”
